Sight and release

[theleo91386]

You can still punch the trigger on a hinge style back tension release if you need to if that's your concern on them. I'm not recommending you start shooting that style of release with about 2 months till hunting season as they really do take some getting use to, just pointing out you can punch the trigger on them.

I'll be picking up a Tru-Ball Incredible here soon. I like open hook heads since I'm not a fan of leaving my release attached to my D-loop when I'm out and about. The nice feature of the Incredible is you can rotate the 360 degrees so you can set it to whatever you like your hand position to be at anchor and not twist up your D-loop. If you ever decide to give a hinge style release a try a Honey 2 is a good one. My first learning lesson with it was figuring out to set the safety to manual. Thought it was nice to set the safety to come off when I took thumb off of it at first, then came the time I needed to let down and some of my beard got in between my thumb and the safety. Now there's a thin spot in my beard back where I anchor up on my jaw as payment for stupid tax.

I use a carter Honey 2. It is a hinge style with a thumb safety. I really think it doesnt take that long to learn them. I took some para cord and a string loop to make a "training bow" If you read John Dudleys article on back tension, you should be able to learn the hinge style release in just a few days. Repetition is where you get accurate. Using the "training bow" over and over and over is the best way to learn the proper execution.
